7-day Florence itinerary with guided tours

A full week of Florence packages: Uffizi, Accademia, Pisa, Chianti or Siena, and food tours — with live product cards.

A full week of Florence packages covers galleries, food, and two classic Tuscany day tours — Uffizi, Accademia, Pisa, Chianti or Siena, and a soft finale — without assembling regional tickets yourself. It parallels the 7-day Florence self-drive itinerary but leans on hotel pickup and skip-the-line products. Live Viator cards show current Florence inventory so you can compare small-group formats, tasting inclusions, and cancellation windows before peak dates fill.

Booking order for a week

Lock Uffizi and Accademia first, then Pisa and a Siena–Chianti combo, then food tours and optional Duomo climbs. Keep one buffer evening after each long coach day. Prefer free cancellation around strikes and heatwaves.

• Uffizi → Accademia → Pisa → Chianti/Siena → food tour → optional Duomo
• Confirm pickup vs central meeting points near the Duomo or SMN
• Do not stack two coach days back-to-back without a soft city day between
• Screenshot operator numbers the night before early musters

Families often prioritise gallery skip-the-line; wine travellers should prioritise Chianti days with confirmed tastings months ahead. Pair heavy coach returns with simple Oltrarno dinners — most Siena–San Gimignano products hit late-afternoon traffic.

• Modest dress for church portions of city tours
• Shoulder months help — shoulder-season travel wins
• Travel light for walk-ups — packing tips

The itinerary at a glance

• Day 1 — Arrive; evening food tour
• Day 2 — Uffizi package
• Day 3 — Soft centro / Duomo optional
• Day 4 — Accademia package
• Day 5 — Pisa day tour
• Day 6 — Chianti, Siena, or San Gimignano
• Day 7 — Soft morning; depart

Day 1 — Arrive and taste

Soft landing near your base and an evening food tour for orientation. Skip the tour if you land after 8pm — sleep and swap tasting to a lighter night mid-week.

Day 2 — Uffizi package

Small-group Uffizi guidance through Botticelli rooms and Medici context. Santa Croce free afternoon — no Accademia stacking.

Day 3 — Soft centro

Ponte Vecchio early, Oltrarno workshops, optional Duomo dome climb if booked. Use this as a recovery day between galleries and outer coaches.

Day 4 — Accademia package

Timed Accademia for David. Soft Oltrarno evening — prepare for an early Pisa muster tomorrow.

Day 5 — Pisa day tour

Coach or train-assisted Pisa with tower logistics handled. Some add Lucca — only if you accept a long day. Check return times before booking dinner.

Day 6 — Chianti, Siena, or San Gimignano

Multi-stop Tuscany packages remove bus puzzles between hill towns and vineyard tastings. Pick one product story — do not try to DIY a second loop the same day.

Day 7 — Soft finale

One unfinished church, gelato, and transfer margin. No new packages — departure days need buffer.

Where to stay

Base near the historic centre, Santa Croce, or Oltrarno. Confirm hotel pickup coverage before booking beyond the ring road. Quiet courtyards help after long coach returns.

Guided vs DIY

Packages shine on Chianti logistics and timed gallery access. Mix with DIY walks from the Florence guide on soft mornings. Independent comparison: best day trips from Florence and 7-day Florence self-drive itinerary.
